A discussion about race and representation of African-American students in Vallejo took place Wednesday night as two departing school board trustees were honored for their service to the district.

Both Vallejo school board trustees Hazel Wilson and Ward “Ace” Stewart expressed concerns about all the district’s students being represented by the incoming school board.

While commending Stewart’s nine years on the Vallejo City Unified School District Board of Education, Wilson asked if her grandsons, who are African American and attend schools in the district, will continue to have a voice after Stewart’s departure.
